One-Punch Man is also suspended

A press release from publisher Shueisha reported that the manga written by ONE and illustrated by Yusuke Murata, "One-Punch Man," will go on a two-month hiatus due to Murata making some adjustments and preparations for serialization. Consequently, the manga has a new chapter scheduled until August 22.

ONE began publishing the manga independently in 2009, and subsequently Yusuke Murata began publishing it as a manga on Shueisha's Tonari no Young Jump service in June 2012. The work inspired a twelve-episode anime adaptation produced by Madhouse Studios and released in Fall-2015, followed by a twelve-episode second season produced by J.C.STAFF Studios and released in Spring-2019.

Synopsis of One Punch Man

A seemingly ordinary and unimpressive Saitama has a rather unique hobby: being a hero. To pursue her childhood dream, she trained relentlessly for three years and lost all of her hair in the process. Now, Saitama is incredibly powerful, so much so that no enemy can defeat him in battle. He is so powerful that he only needs to land one blow to defeat his enemies, because of this he is no longer able to enjoy the thrill of battle and has become quite boring.

This all changes with the arrival of Genos, a 19-year-old cyborg, who wishes to be Saitama's disciple after seeing what he is capable of. Genos proposes that the two join the Hero Association to become certified heroes who will be recognized for their positive contributions to society, and Saitama, surprised that no one knows who he is, quickly agrees. And so begins the story of One Punch Man, an action comedy that follows an eccentric individual who longs to fight strong enemies that can hopefully give him the thrill he once felt and just maybe, become popular in the process.
